A Flying V formation ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mighty_Ducks_(film_series) )

More seriously, what equipment do you have? How many vehicles, what type, and how long of a stretch of highway? Can you damage the cars in any way (say tailgating and then sudden obstacle avoidance...would anyone be mad if the cars didn't avoid as intended)?

With several miles of elevated highway, a moderate volume of volunteered & OEM supplied vehicles and open minded infrastructure partners a pretty broad range of hacks/trials could be accommodated. Actively driving vehicles off the road and/or damaging them would be frowned on. However, sudden avoidance of "soft" obstacles under different scenarios definitely works.

Not sure how to work in the scoring aspect of a flying v, but would definitely be fun to model fuel savings of cars doing the same.
